After That Whole Chaotic Situation, Oliver Never Mentioned Bugs Or Anything Bug Related To Nerdy Ever Again.
Also, I Tried Making The Art Style Similar To The Book Series But For Some Reason, They Look Deformed To Me. Maybe If I Color It It'll Look Better? Idk.
Mya could've turned out exactly like Octavian if she didn't have a support system, which makes me wonder…
If Octavian had actual family and friends like Mya, would he not have turned out how he did?
One of the themes of the story is that “You're only as good as the people next to you”.
If Jorge's former friends hadn't abandoned him, he would've turned into a jerk.
If Oliver's father hadn't abandoned him and his mother, their family life and mental state would've gone down the drain.
If Jonas didn't have the trio with him, he would've killed Octavian in revenge.
And if Mya didn't have her new family and friends, she might not have fully recovered from her depression over losing her mother.
Octavian… probably didn't have anyone. Idk whether or not the Protectors were raised in the Society, or recruited… or what (the way they act heavily suggests some type of indoctrination), but it sure doesn't seem to be familial-like.
Jonas does see Spencer Albright as a father-figure, although I'm not 100% sure if Albright sees Jonas as a son.
Well, anyway, Paulla and her family were probably Octavian's first and only real family.
